UKSPF project: Bodelwyddan Country Park

Project lead: Denbighshire County Council

Project overview

This project will develop a Country Park on Woodland/Parkland adjacent to Bodelwyddan Castle.

A fully accessible park will be created to encourage repeat visits by Denbighshire/Conwy residents along with visitors to the area.

The project will provide an opportunity for people to spend time outdoors and enjoy quality facilities, the natural environment, heritage assets and far reaching views of the special landscape of North Wales.

Project updates

March 2024

A Countryside Ranger with a designated budget for management and maintenance at Bodelwyddan Country Park has been appointed on a full-time basis. The role is to ensure that this new facility will be maintained to a very high standard and to build up a volunteer base in preparation for the opening of the Country Park in 2025.

A planning application was first submitted in May 2023 but following some objections the plan has been modified slightly but this doesn’t affect the project delivery as set out in the application. This has now been resubmitted and approved. 

Work on the site is due to progress after April 2024.
